Madam Chen was stunned. “Ah, oh, I think I’ve called her that before.”
Madam Chu said, “I just said to get someone to call you. Since Little Seven’s marriage has been decided, we plan to visit Mother and tell her this good news.”
Madam Jiang muttered softly, “Will Mom be happy?
Madam Li quietly patted her hand and signaled her to shut up. Madam Jiang coughed lightly. “Then let’s go!”
The group went to the small courtyard in the west of the residence.
This place was far from the central axis of the residence. It was in a quiet area near a small orchard.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they smelled the refreshing fragrance of peaches.
Madam Jiang exclaimed, “Mother planted peaches again this year! ”
Under a peach tree in the courtyard, a plainly dressed Madam was picking peaches.
“Mother.” Madam Chu stepped forward and bowed, reaching for the basket in her hand. “I’ll do it.”
Madam Wei gave her the basket. Her movements were light and slow, and her expression was calm.
“Mother.”
Madam Li also greeted her and went forward to help pick peaches.
Madam Chu turned around and looked at Madam Jiang and Madam Chen.
“What are the two of you waiting for? Come and pick peaches.”
“Coming, Sister-in-law.” Madam Jiang pulled Madam Chen’s sleeve and came to the peach tree to pluck it silently.
Lord Wei had planted four peach trees in the courtyard. This year, there were many peaches and they could not fit them in one basket.
“That’s enough. Come and sit,” Madam Wei said.
The few of them walked over and sat around the stone table.
There were only four stone stools. Madam Chu, Madam Li, and Madam Chen sat down while Madam Lan and Madam Jiang stood. After all, the two of them were the fourth and fifth.
Madam Wei lived alone with only a maidservant by her side. Over the past few days, the maidservant’s mother had fallen ill, so Madam Wei asked her to go back and accompany her mother.
Madam Chu said softly, “Mother, your place is too cold. I’ll choose another smart servant.”
Madam Wei did not answer.
She picked up a peach branch and removed a small worm from it.
Madam Jiang sweated. She had plucked it and pulled off the peach branch. Madam Wei said calmly, “It’s neither a festival nor a big day today. Why are you here?”
Madam Chu said, “Little Seven is getting married.”
Madam Wei’s expression was still indifferent. “Is that so?”
Madam Chu continued, “With the eldest daughter of the Protector Duke.”
Snap.
The peach branch in Madam Wei’s hand broke.
Su Xiaoxiao was too busy yesterday and only sent the snacks to Ling Yun today.
Ling Yun’s face darkened and he said nothing.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “To apologize, I made two more boxes of almond pastries.”
Ling Yun said coldly, “Only two boxes? Do you think I’m a beggar?”
“Then…”
“Three boxes!”
Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “I was about to say five boxes…’
While Su Xiaoxiao was delivering snacks, she took Ling Yun’s pulse and asked about his diet.
Ever since he took the digestive enzyme, his symptoms of indigestion had decreased a lot and he almost stopped vomiting.
However, things that were too difficult to digest were still not suitable for him to eat.
The snacks Su Xiaoxiao made for him were all made with reduced sugar oil.
Seeing that there was finally some flesh on his sunken cheeks, Su Xiaoxiao felt relieved.
“What are you looking at?” Ling Yun sensed Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze and asked coldly.
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “You were too thin in the past. You’re a little normal now. You seem quite handsome.”
Ling Yun hugged the snack and gave her a disdainful look which seemed to say, who would care about this?
He entered the house expressionlessly.
